Windows machine is in a constant reboot loop. HP has been working on the device and there is no hardware problem. Microsoft support said there are corrupted in windows files and we were able to repair windows.
HP is sending me a CD to reboot for Vista and say these original files are on my hard drive. The risk is of losing all the data. I'm embarrassed to say I didn't have a backup or set a restore point in the years I've had the machine
So my concern is to lose all e-mails, documents, images, videos, and music, a lot of itunes. Microsoft feels that they can get the computer restarted without damage and data. Apple suggested I install a product open source, Ubuntu and use the file manager in this OS to unload the files. I studied a little and it seems too risky. My question is this; What is the best way to save my files as part of the reboot process?
You follow what I said.
We don't know what data is on which drive.
1 and 2 requires that remove you your hard drive.
1 means install you also in another computer as a slave drive.
If you think that labor is out of your reach, see a local computer repair shop.
See you soon. Mick Murphy - Microsoft partner

the sticker on my laptop has disappeared/deleted and I am not able to see the full key for windows vista operating system has been pre-installed on the laptop and now she asks activation and I did not quite correct key because he got faded/deleted, how can I get the key to work on the laptop I have compaq-presario-cq60-420 US laptop.please help me or give me the microsoft contact numbers where I can get my key of windows vista back by providing the serial number and the product number for my laptop. I am unable to work as the laptop does not work without the activation key.
Hello
You can use a magnifying glass and a flashlight to see if you can read the numbers of the product key on the label.
Or take a picture of it and expand it on the screen.
______________________________________________________________
Also that, read also:
You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks and to reinstall the operating system.
They should do this for a fee, if they still have available to them.
_____________________________________________________________
And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery Partition on the hard drive to reinstall Vista on how you purchased your computer.
The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start)
Maybe it's F10, F11, Alt + F10, etc., depending on the manufacturer.
Ask them to the proper key sequence.
____________________________________________________________
And if you do not score a manufacturer of recovery on your hard drive, you should be able to make your own recovery from her disks to reinstall the operating system.
Go to programs > name of the manufacturer of your computer > then their system or recovery tools software topics for them, depending on how it is formulated.
If you can't find any reference to it, contact the manufacturer for advice on how to make these recovery disks.
The methods above resettlement generally do not require allows you to provide a product key during Installation, the recovery process uses the Installation product key factory to activate automatically during the resettlement process.
See you soon.

My computer caught a SERIOUS virus that damaged my beta Windows Vista together. So I've upgraded to Windows 7, however, I have not the key product for Windows Vista or 7. Is it possible to set this up with Windows Vista or 7 because my product key for computers, which was at the back of it, has been erased or worn. There is no name on the back of my laptop sticker saying what product key to use. Thank you!

don't have a product key for Vista or Windows 7, the laptop
no doubt supplied with XP. Is this correct?If it came with XP, it is very old and it is almost certainly elsewhere
low power for Windows 7. In addition the drivers you need for Windows
7 there are almost certainly not, and you will not be able to run
Windows 7 on it.At this point, you are probably in trouble no matter what you do. You
must reinstall Windows XP itself, but you no longer have your

can try to ask the manufacturer of the laptop to a XP CD and product
